Chainsaw "bayonet" mounted on rifle
In this short but riveting video, YouTube's Pfcthiel demonstrates a chainsaw "bayonet" he mounted on an assault rifle (he'll make you one for $300). As Neatorama points out, this may just be the world's greatest anti-zombie weapon. Also handy for loggers who fear attack-squirrels.

it doesn't launch the chainsaw?

What a mullet!
Games Workshop's Warhammer 40K had the chainsaw sword before Gears of War was a gleam in the game designer's eye.
Wow... I like Gears and real guns, but, um... Guns aren't toys, and I'm really uncomfortable about how he was swinging a loaded semiautomatic weapon around like that... I would have been cowering face down in the dirt when he was doing that. There's a point where he swings around toward the observers to get at the pumpkin better, and isn't even looking at where the thing is pointed.
This is not a good idea.
A future Darwin Award winner.
The way he was wielding that thing, I half expected him to win a Darwin Award.
...I expected him to cut one of his feet* wielding that thing that way.
*Or both!
Darwin worth or jealously?
As any professional zombie killer knows...
You have make sure your chainsaw is firmly attached or you got problems!
I'd like to see how it's rigged up up close.
Otherwise kick ass job! I never saw anything like it
(mullet intended)
Gods, all he needed was something involving gasoline and this video would be a safety failure trifecta.
that laugh kinda creeped me out... it was almost cynical
Apparently, these gentlemen filed a patent infringement claim against Pfcthiel:

Interesting.
'Cause his saw sounds a lot like an electric carving knife from Thanksgiving.
We see pumpkins...I 'll bet you any amount of money this maniac see's "liberals".
Hack-a-day has a better video and a good photo:

..and by "better" I, of course, mean "lamer".

You shouldn't play with assault rifles
also, you shouldn't play with chainsaws
and certainly you shouldn't play with both at the same time
"You'll cut your arm off, kid!"
Chainsaw wielders can be innovative all right. My personal favourite is the one who used a chainsaw to cut off his own head.

The creepy laugh, combined with the atmospheric background drone of the plane overhead, combine to make this feel like an outtake from a David Lynch film.
For me, it's the redneck smoker's cackle that really sells it.
it just doesn't solve the basic problem: the assault gun will run out of ammunition and chainsaw runs on a small tank fuel.
additionally, when the zombiecalypse comes, i expect general availability of gasoline will be very limited.
so better have a sword, a sharpened spade or something like that for backup!
altough you could probably say, if there are so many zombies surrounding you that an assault rifle and one chainsaw full of gasoline isn't enough, a sword won't make much of a difference anymore.
Looks more like a rifle mounted on a chainsaw.
Dear Santa,
I think you know what I want this year.
more like ten shitloads
Loggers are trained to clear forests. Attack-squirrels are trained to overwhelm and subdue in large numbers. This device would do little good against the wee-beasty. Instead, let's find a way to reprogram the squirrel's inherently savage instinct, outfit them with mini-versions of this device, and set them to work clearing trees for low wages-hell, they'll literally work for peanuts! I can see no conflict of interest in the squirrel's eyes. Why the gun part? Well, we hope they won't have to use it, but we know how aggressive those liberal tree huggers can be, don't we? [general murmur of assent throughout the hall] Besides, the boys at the lab have assured me there's no way our new "civilizing reinforcement" could wear off. How could this go wrong? Gentleman, with a shaky world economy, do we have any other choice? Plus, people find them cute; so it may be good PR to set up our tiny new hire's work area near residential areas. No longer can anyone accuse the logging industry of being heartless. Now when they say we only take, we can point to these highly efficient workers, and show that we also GIVE! Gentlemen,I, for one, welcome our new friends! [applause]

Sorry, I'm writing three analytical papers and needed to let off some steam. I know this has nothing to do with the device. Yet.
Dude, this is a chainsword realized! To wit:

"Gentlemen,I, for one, welcome our new friends! [applause]"
Until they become out chainsaw-wielding overlords.
The cackling background sounds like the mad cat woman from the Simpsons to me.
By the way, that was not an assault rifle. Assault rifles are fully automatic. Automatic weapons require a special license from the the ATF that are very hard to get. That was a rifle that looks like an assault weapon. Automatic fire is counterproductive for dealing with zombies. You must make steady, aimed head shots. Full bursts just embed bullets in useless places, rather than "kill" zombies.
What *I* want to see are a set of chainsaws mounted on the arms, complete with armour. That would be SW33T.
Ash: "GROOVY"!
Is this Steampunk or garden variety assholery?
Paging Mr. Darwin, Mr. Charles Darwin, please report to this moran's backyard.

This is my BOOMSTICK!
If he's a decent Darwin Award candidate, he'll have to manage to cut his leg off while also shooting himself in his (now detached) foot and then bleed to death when the tree that he plunge cut falls on him.
